>Two cents side comment. Are there any reason why the mute FET can not
be driven on thus grounding the output pin always when output is not
active? I know this patch follows the TPS65950 TRM but IMO simplier and
cleanear would be consider this FET like an amplifier (with inverted
control) and define and control it only from machine driver.
